                I won’t deny it; texting is actually a big thing in my life. I’m not saying that I am addicted to it, but a text is just much more reliable than a call. If the person doesn’t answer a call you have to leave a dreadful voicemail, which I find quite awkward. Texting just seems simpler and much more convenient, especially when I am in a hurry and need to let someone know something without having to be rude and not making it seem like you don’t want to talk to the person. Businesses are now sending text messages reminding people about their dentist appointments, doctor appointments, and even tax return information. That being said business know that most of today’s adolescence and population in general prefer a text message as a reminder instead of a call, because people are always on the go. But that does not mean people should be texting and driving, texting and driving is an extremely dangerous thing to do. Texting and driving cause’s way too many accidents and people’s lives are lost just because people didn’t just wait a couple of minutes to either respond or read a message. With that being said don’t text and drive!!
